Transportation & Transit
Platform 2 is filling fast.
Pulses OS counts each platform and gate queue, so staff act sooner.
Pulses at the station
For transit and station operators who need to see crowds build between the reports. Pulses Vision over concourses and gates, and Pulses Vision Pro outdoors, count and time on site as people move. Pulses Ops counts each platform zone and alerts station staff when one passes its limit, counts the queue at each gate and alerts staff when a gate stops moving, and shows which stations are busiest by hour. Pulses Compliance alerts staff when people stand in the marked edge zone or someone enters a maintenance tunnel, and logs counts as anonymous data for audits. On the move, Pulses Vision Roam shows boardings and load by stop (buses and fleets). Passengers appear as anonymous counts, not video; processing happens on site.
Crowds build between the reports.
Timetables say when trains run, not how full the platform is. A stuck gate shows up in complaints.

Crowding by platform zone
Pulses OS counts each platform zone and alerts station staff when one passes its limit.
-
Where passengers back up
See which escalator, ticket hall or concourse backs up at peak hours.

Transfers between lines
Counts at each interchange corridor, by hour, to plan transfers.
Compliance
-
Platform edge alerts
Pulses OS alerts staff when people stand in the marked edge zone.
-
Zone counts during evacuation
Counts by area during an evacuation, so wardens see which areas are clear.
-
Station capacity alerts
Pulses OS counts people in each station against its limit, and alerts the control room as it nears.
-
Restricted areas
Alerts when someone enters a maintenance tunnel or operations area.
-
A record for each alert
Occupancy counts and safety alerts are logged as anonymous data, as evidence for audits.
Why Pulses at the station
-
Processed on the device

Questions from transit teams
How do bus operators count boardings per stop without manual clickers?
A Pulses Vision Roam device rides in the bus and records boardings and alightings at each stop as the trip runs. Pulses Ops turns them into load between stops, load by trip, and load by stop and hour across the fleet, so planners see which trips run full and which run light. Processing happens on the device.
Can AI alert staff before a queue breaches its service level?
Pulses Ops counts each platform zone and each gate queue against the limits you set. Station staff are alerted when a platform zone passes its limit or a gate stops moving, and the control room is alerted as a station nears its limit. Supervisors can then move staff to the busiest stations by hour.
How do I confirm everyone has left a building during an evacuation?
During an evacuation, Pulses OS shows counts by area, so wardens see which areas are clear. It gives the team numbers to work from as the evacuation runs; the evacuation itself stays with your wardens and your safety plan. Counts and safety alerts are logged as anonymous data.
Can I add AI analytics to my existing CCTV cameras?
Yes. Pulses works alongside your CCTV and does not replace it. Customers who want to reuse their existing CCTV feeds can connect them to the on-premise Pulses Appliance, which processes them on site. Pulses Vision Devices are placed where a job needs accuracy, such as gates and platforms, and process on the device in real time.
